Also, in extreme circumstances, I like to go for the public shaming angle. There is a stigma towards non-tippers as being cheap, so I can have some fun with that. That girl who may have gone home with you. She probably won't now that I loudly ask you to put a total under the tip line that you dashed out on your cc receipt. I understand 100$ + dash equals 100 $, but you never know, I could have some credit card fraud system worked out. It is best that you put down a total so I can't mess with it.
Also, say you come to the bar with your friends after making a fifty dollar drink order that consists of various combinations of citrus garnish, requests detailing the number of splashes of 7up, and perhaps just a cube or 2 less ice. I hope for your sake that you tipped me. For my sake, I hope you didn't, because the 10 dollars is not worth the same as being able to ask a group of people, 'Oh, so you are with picky b*tch-no-tip?' and then move onto the next customer. The looks on people's faces are priceless.

Being a dickwad to your customers is not going to gain you any support. An attitude like yours can spread quicky and hurt the owner of the bar and his bottom line when customers go elsewhere for a few drinks.
